Nekota Tsuna, Off FPS Games for Now, Says the ‘Poison’ Has Drained Out of Her

VSPO — Nekota Tsuna, a member of the VTuber agency VSpo, said on a Friday morning stream that staying away from FPS games has made her gentler. She said shooters had been the core of her channel, but with no FPS on her schedule lately she has done more chat streams, while still playing Persona. Watching her own clips on YouTube Shorts, she said, the chat clips came across as kind, and an FPS clip that followed looked like the poison coming back. Without FPS, she said, she thinks she is cuter.

The stream, a zatsudan, or chat stream, ran about two hours and 46 minutes. Along the way Tsuna updated viewers on a stereotype about her home country: Korea used to offer a choice between opening a fried chicken shop and going to a university in Seoul, she said, and there is now a third option, becoming a VTuber. She recalled the first earthquake she ever felt, at school in Korea, when she panicked, grabbed her bag and went home without waiting for her teacher’s instructions. Asked which VSpo members she thought were fast runners, she said she herself runs 50 meters in 10 seconds, and that she has been glad to be laughed at for it since becoming a streamer.

She also said she has a commissioned piece of work she considers her best so far and had shown it to staff and fellow members, and that she is saving it for later. Recording sessions had kept her from streaming much, she said, and with year-end projects ahead she was happy to be back at home.

More than an hour of the stream went to a judgment sheet that asks whether the behaviors of a partner reflect love or dependence, which Tsuna read through from a third-party point of view. She called wanting to share good and bad news with a partner love, and hiding one’s true feelings for fear of being disliked the most serious kind of dependence. On quitting a job to care for a sick partner, she said it depended on how serious the illness was. She also said that a partner who gives up a dream for her would not make her happy. She closed by drawing a heart on her tablet, and said she would be back at around noon with a Persona stream. Fifteen Super Chats arrived during the broadcast.
